Recent research has focused on non-standard work with a lens to exploring how such work arrangements may create or exacerbate economic inequalities.
In June 2019, Lamb and co-author Rafael Gomez (CIRHR PhD 2000) were awarded the 2018 Best Paper Competition: LERA/ILR Review Special Series in Employment Relations for work examining the association between unionization and non-standard work in terms of coverage and wages.
